So now it seems director Guy Ritchie is wooing Tom Cruise to play the role of Napoleon Solo is the long-delayed Man from U.N.C.L.E. remake. See
here for one link of many in this regard.
Why do directors keep going for these actors who are frankly just too old to play Napoleon Solo? Especially as Warner Bros. initially intimated they want to make the movie the first in a trilogy? At 51, Cruise -- besides my countless other objections to him for the role -- is again an actor who is just too old for this part.
